Book Launch / Signing

La Librairie Yvon Lambert a le plaisir de présenter en avant-première en France, à Paris, le nouveau projet de Francesco Patriarca intitulé Clay Ghost. La librairie accueillera le lancement du livre, et présentera, durant l’évènement, quelques œuvres picturales et photographiques de l’artiste.
Francesco Patriarca et l’auteur du texte « Habités par la pudeur », Hadrien France-Lanord, seront présents lors de la signature.
Clay Ghost est un livre d’artiste composé de photographies et de peintures de Francesco Patriarca et publié en décembre 2024 par Davide Ghaleb Editore à Rome. Les différentes séries d’œuvres ont en commun le désir de réunir deux dimensions que nous considérons d’habitude opposées : l’absence et la présence, le visible et l’invisible. À travers ce travail, l’auteur s’est posé les questions suivantes : pourquoi l'absence est-elle parfois plus évocatrice que la présence ? Est-ce la coexistence des deux dans notre pensée qui permet une écoute ou une observation plus ample et consciente des choses et de la vie ? Quel est le lieu où l’espace, imaginaire ou réel, où ces deux dimensions peuvent coexister sans s’opposer ou se contredire ?
Clay Ghost constitue un théâtre imaginaire sous forme de livre et d’exposition, proposé par Francesco Patriarca et les auteurs Hadrien France-Lanord, Davide Zaccagnini, Andromache Chalfant, Piero Tomassoni et Elena del Drago et voué à créer un espace scénique pour le « fantôme d'argile ». Un lieu où ce nouvel être composé, comme nous, d’esprit et de matière, peut s’exprimer avec ses différentes physionomies, parmi ses objets magiques et ses espaces poétiques.
Outre le livre, une collector box sera présentée : une boîte d’artiste en carton et tissu contenant 4 tirages photographiques (papier japonais en fibres naturelles, 30x24cm), numérotés et signés (édition limitée à 40 exemplaires).
